Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2013 Merlot – The Wine Companion – James Halliday
If there’s a better merlot in Australia, please get its maker to send a bottle for tasting. The bouquet is perfumed, and multifaceted, red fruits, spice and French oak all competing for space, the palate an object lesson in terms of flavours (predominantly red fruits), texture (supple) and structures (superfine…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon – James Suckling – jamessuckling.com
A gently leafy and minty nose that has bright ripe red fruits as well as blueberries and cassis, plus violet-like florals too. The palate is dense and handsomely structured; there’s a light peppery edge, tannins are chalky and there’s a reassuring tautness to the finish. Best from 2018.
